In the U.S., we’re drilling around 2,000 new oil and gas wells per month. 90% of these new wells use fracking. To get the natural gas out of the ground, fracking requires 3-15 million gallons of water plus a lot of chemicals. Rarely do we know what these chemicals are: the oil and gas industry is exempt from the Safe Drinking Water Act, the Clean Water Act, the Clean Air Act, and the Superfund law. Our clean water supply is threatened. If you’re concerned like we are, participate in our tumblr blog gas-and-water-dont-mix.tumblr.com. And learn more about fracking at Earthworks.
